Commissiom work

[thescentofrainonstone]

On Class in Britain and why the same kind of actor ends up getting our panties in a twist (see Hiddleston, Cumberbatch, Goode, etc...)

Isn't it peculiar that all this adoration and fandoms tend to be about white-cis mostly het (thought admittedly that's the more laxed of attributes) able thin, tall, pale but most importantly coming from riches guys?

You look at a Tom Hiddleston and his first headshots and roles and the wonder has got to be there: "how much time and means were available to him to get his degree from Oxbridge and then decide to do another entire BA on top of it at RADA?"

Admittedly he gets off easy going back historically("just" baronets in his line) when in his league we have Benedict Cumberbatch, whose existence is literally dependant on the slavery his direct ancestors built their empire on in Barbados, and were paid compensation when the end of slavery came to England. Finally his Wikipedia has a full description of this even though when I worked on the essay that took the Downton Abbey series and films as examples of the inhumane social divide the UK depends upon, it was all incredibly well swept under virtual rugs with a vague quote from Mother Cumberbatch advising her son to change his surname in case "they come after you for money" where money stands for "reparations" and considering the luxury of an arts career like the last few Cumberbatches have had is something intrinsically entrenched in wealth and privilege makes perfect sense if you ask me. A councillor in New York carries the same surname and she is Black. Slaves carried the surname of those who owned them.

Let that sink in: there is currently a commissiomer (and Professor at Columbia) in New York who carries the Cumberbatch surname because they are a direct descendant of the Slaves the Cumberbatches owned and owe their fortune to. Stacey Cumberbatch.

So yeah, when people think the UK is not the US, they Invented class and the divide that come with it. It is so crucial to come from a family that can afford you connections and the luxury to work for nothing while never risking bills or rent going unpaid.

And I guess what I'm trying to say is: it's ok for all the fandoms to salivate over anyone, I just think it's important we know why the media propels in front of our eyes the same prototype of Englishman over and over, and perpetrates the production of new pieces of media that casually seem naturally meant for white, rich, het passing people.

The system works like a bottleneck for privilege and I think the SAG-AFTRA strikes also show that: everyone that had some privilege and didn't do anything to average out the system will see their own reduced over time until only the tip of the top remains. And "eat the rich" is going to be another post but you get the gist.

That is to say, next time I go to Insole Court (the Victorian house where a Lot of A Discovery of Witches was filmed, including Matthew's "rooms at Oxford") will I touch every single book of the reading room because likely I will have touched something Matthew Goode touched when he was there filming? Sure.

I also do know that house was paid for by coal miners who actually died in a tragedy in the mines owned by the Insole family and that admittedly I find the only decent way to keep real estate built with the blood of people can just be that: give that back to the people.

It's about educated choices, that's what I'm trying to say.

Fun fact: I started watching a discovery of witches because after filming the essay at Insole Court, wanting to bring down the bourgeoisie, I learned the show was also filmed there. So i went and found it and now I have another white, pale, lanky, English twink to lose sleep over just because he's been given a character created by the mind of a woman who dreams enough, possibly because unfulfilled in some part of her life -because when we're happy we go out, we don't vomit pages over pages let's be honest -.

If none of those elegant white British men who embody the characters we love come from a program that allowed them to raise from the working class... or are anything but white or adhering to a white-er standard (Rege- Jean Page is the quintessential example of this, better than nothing but still, my point)...Maybe we should ask ourselves why, and how is that ok.

Just a random though on a day I wanted to go back to Insole Court for the aforesaid reason.

Controversal YCH opinion

Been thinking about this one fora bit, posting about it here as well as on my FORUM and COHOST.

So, furry YCH's. Your Character Here. An artist draws a sketch of some vague characters, and you pay that artist to make those vague character shapes into your character. A simple concept.

Why are seemingly most of the (digital) YCH's single use ones? One person pays, gets the art, and the artist never uses the base again? Like.. You have this premade base. Part of the work, posing refs and viewing angles and basic body atonomy, is already done. All you need to do is shape the rough outline into a specific character and you have both an artpiece and a satisfied customer. Look, as an aspiring artist, I would like to have a few YCH's that are always-avaiable asides from the normal commissions for many reasons:

- As already mentioned, part of the work is done. I can sell a YCH for less than a normal commissiom because of that. Customer gets cheaper art, I get an easier piece to do. In fact, the more I do a specific YCH the easier it gets. Getting accustomed to drawing the same posing and angles, with minor character variances.

- I can have cool extra things, such as a detailed pre-drawn background. Detailed backgrounds usually cost a good chunk more to add, and for good reason. But if the YCH already has one specifuc detailed background? Well I've already made it, no need to draw it again. And the customer doesn't have to pay extra for it either; add it on at a big discount, spread the price of the one detailed background over multiple commissions

Me and a friend got a YCH like this awhile back. Consisted of a headshot of one character, and a full body of another. The artist had already done about 40 of this YCH already, and for us? both characters were a total of $40USD. Artist got it done within 5 hours after payment. $40USD and a 5 hour turnaround is SUCH an impressive feat, I'm still pleased. Would love to do that again.

Anyways, I don't understand the point of single use (digital) YCH's. That, and for the real controversal take, I think Single-Use YCH Auctions are borderline scamish. You have this partially made image that you make people fight over, and only the highest bidder can get it before the base is never seen again. Anyways what are other people's thoughts on this?

Hello! You mentioned commissioms are open, where would all that information be if I may ask? Pricing, examples, etc.?

I love your icon drawing by the way :)

yes, i did! i just now realized i don't have my carrd linked anywhere on my tumblr so here you go!:

all my commission info is available in a google doc that you can access through the "comms (wip) button on my carrd! i'm working on moving all the info to a separate carrd and the payments themselves my ko.fi and i'll have a post about that pinned on my blog when i can get to it. i don't have many official examples atm but you can check out my pinterest (also linked in my carrd) to get a better idea of what a commission can look like than my tumblr will give you.

also, thank you! i'm really proud of it, it's so cute :3

[creations-by-chaosfay]

Do you have personal projects you work on in your free time? Like when you need to take a break from commissions? (Quilt projects or otherwise)

I've found it best to do things unrelated to commissiom work, like video games or reading, when I have commissions I'm working on. It prevents burnout and gives my hands thr break they need. Currently, I'm working on playing every leader in Civilization VI and reading my husband's Vampire the Masquerade novels.

Come summer, I'll be working on personal pieces from 5AM to 9AM because it starts getting real toasty in there. Handquilting in the living room until around 1PM, and after that I chill out with a game and work on my dining room.

I plan on painting my dining room and The Monster (a REALLY big hutch). Currently, the latter is awaiting attention in our storage room. I'll be sawing off the wine glass display and filling in the plate ditch with putting and sanding it smooth. The Monster will be where I story my ever-growing collection of teacups and mugs, tea, teapots (I only have two very boring ones, but hope to change that), plants, plant seeds, and some of my fairy collection. It's gonna be painted to look like flowers and vines are going on it. That'll keep me busy for awhile.

Otherwise, world domination and learning vampire occult.
